Arctic Screaming Tour: Help bring awareness of the horrors of the
climate crisis to your home town

"The Arctic is Screaming" read an Associated Press article recently
about the climate crisis in the far North. Help continue the movement for federal, state and local climate action by
bringing the front line of the crisis: the
Arctic
to your home town through the inspiring words of author, film maker and Arctic
explorer Chad Kisterís video, photos and first hand experiences.The incredible pace of climate change needs to be understood so that the
urgency can be realized. Gwich'in and Inupiat people plead for action in
video clips in the latest presentation.

With the second edition of his Arctic Melting book coming out soon,
Kister is launching another multi-media speaking tour to show what is happening
in the far northern lands, and why we must take immediate action to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions.

For many, climate change is still an abstract issue, and something that
we fear in the future.But in the
Arctic
, and for native peoples, climate change is a reality now.They beg the lower 48 to pay attention to their plight, because it is
destined to be the same for the rest of the world unless we make this the number
one issue of our time.

We have heard so much about the climate crisis, it is a challenge to find
innovative new ways to make a difference on this issue. Kister has a
unique presentation that features his amazing journey from
Prudhoe Bay
into and throughout the Arctic Refuge by foot and raft. He nearly died of
starvation when he could not catch fish, then hypothermia after being flushed
down a flooded river. The adventure helps attract interest from those who
might otherwise not want to sit through a climate change talk.

You can watch one of the presentations that Kister gave in
Chicago
in May at www.arcticrefuge.org or www.safeclimateact.org.
The powerpoint ends with solutions, and a question-answer period addressing
nuclear energy (not wise), liquefied coal (no way) and more.

A solid set of solutions are
set forth, centering on the need for a mandatory cap and reduction of emissions,
which will spur action on all levels for innovative ways to cup emissions.We already know energy saving measures that will also save money: it just
takes some incentive-creating legislation like a cap and trade system to achieve
it.Kister has lived entirely with
solar and wind energy, knowing first hand how well they work, and how economical
they are.

With positive feedback loops kicking in, temperature rises and the severe
weather that causes promises to be horrific in coming decades, and we must do
everything we can to stop the cause of the problem: greenhouse gas emissions.
